A top conclusion of the recent Synthesis Report<\/a> of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is that the attribution of observed changes in tropical cyclones to human influence has strengthened over the past 9 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPCC does not justify its claim that both the detection of changes and attribution have been achieved. So in Part 1 of this exploration,<\/a> I tracked back the claim and found that it had no support in the one paper miscited by the IPCC in support of the claim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this second part, I look at official data on tropical cyclones. The evidence also does not support the IPCC claim of detection and attribution related to tropical cyclones.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, a false claim about tropical cyclones<\/strong> made its way into the IPCC Synthesis Report<\/strong><\/a> and its Summary for Policy Makers<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an ideal world, a\u00a0blunder of this magnitude<\/strong>\u00a0would prompt some thinking about\u00a0how the IPCC performs its scientific assessments<\/strong>, whether it\u00a0may have\u00a0drifted from that mission<\/a><\/strong>, and if it can do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before proceeding, a quick note on the terminology I\u2019m using in this post, as there is often some confusion in the specialized jargon of tropical meteorology:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
